History: John Lewis Beauty Icons

Those lovely people are John Lewis are going above and beyond this week to make our lives easier.
From the 13th (I'm slack, I know, okay?) until the 27th September, there will be all kinds of in-store events, special offers and beauty tutorials to help you make the most of those cult classics that should be in everyone's beauty bag. Or drawer. Or cabinet. Or trunk.

My personal highlights...



Clinique's new diagnostic centre. The nice ladies at Clinique can sit you down, whether you've got five minutes or half an hour and give you a custom-fit consultation. You'll also get a free powder brush and luxury portable powder to take away. Who doesn't love freebies??


My beloved Prescriptives are launching the new Super Line Preventor Xtreme Lifting Concentrate (try saying that drunk) exclusively at John Lewis for the next fortnight. And if you run along and purchase before it goes national, you'll get a free Colourprint and foundation sample.


Laura Mercier will be launching her new Cherries Noir collection and will have fabu make up artists in store on the following dates: Oxford Street: 18 - 20th September, Nottingham: 19- 20th September.


The divine, and exclusive to John Lewis, Belle En Rykiel from Sonia Rykiel is offering an exclusive Sonia Rykiel lingerie bag and boxed miniature EDP and EDT with any fragrance purchase.
